The term "Intifada" refers to a series of Palestinian uprisings against Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The first Intifada began in 1987 and lasted until the early 1990s, characterized by protests, civil disobedience, and violent clashes. The second Intifada, or Al-Aqsa Intifada, erupted in 2000 and involved more intense violence and military engagements. Both uprisings highlighted the deep-rooted tensions and ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
